    Description

      For the partitions created by HCatStorer, currently the output path format is fixed to "table_root/part_col_name1=part_col_val1/part_col_name2=part_col_val2". In our use case, we need HCatStorer to write to a different directory structure to be backward compatible. Therefore, we want HCatStorer be able to write to a external location if the user application specifies so.
